Just hearing the words STEINS;GATE makes your heart stir. The intellectual and poignant passion exuded by that story has now taken shape as a figure. The “Makise Kurisu 15th Anniversary Illustration ver.” is truly the culmination of that. Sculpted in 1/7 scale with a total height of approximately 230mm, she transcends mere character merchandise to become a symbol of the series' history and memories. Befitting the 15th-anniversary milestone, this figure quietly yet surely speaks to the meaning of Kurisu “being there.”

What is most striking about this figure is the deep crimson of Kurisu's dress. Faithfully recreating the visual drawn for the live event, the expression of the light-reflecting fabric shows countless different looks depending on the viewing angle. It's more than just glamorous; it conveys her characteristic coolness, intelligence, and dignity. Delicate coloring is applied to every single decoration, and the flow and shadows of the costume are finished so realistically it's as if a real person has been captured in that moment.

A sense of “movement” can be felt in this figure's presence, despite it being static. The graceful silhouette sculpted by prototype artist BBJ meticulously expresses the tilt of her center of gravity, the flutter of her dress, and the subtle movements of her arms and fingertips, encouraging the viewer to imagine a momentary drama. Her figure, which is stately yet conveys a certain transience, is as if the complex charm of the character Kurisu has been condensed into a single statue. It is a highly completed three-dimensional expression that captivates you the more you look at it.

The line of her leg visible through the slit is another highlight of this figure. In contrast to the intellect that symbolizes Kurisu as a scientist, here the beauty of her as a woman is brought to the fore. The sculpting of her feet, which feels both delicate and strong, is integrated with different materials like stainless steel and acrylic, instilling a hard realism within the elegance. This contrast is the element that reflects the profoundness of Makise Kurisu's character, giving her a depth that transcends mere “beauty.”

What this figure brings is not just nostalgia. Touching upon the 15th-anniversary milestone vividly revives the emotions felt in those moments from that day. The memories of encountering Kurisu through the game and being moved by her choices and words are connected to a new story through this three-dimensional object. The more you are a fan, the more you will feel the weight of this “presence.” Please welcome this gift, which has arrived across time, to your side.
